Hi Neil, thanks fro your reply! ...may be I have used my brain today for too long and more sleep than hacking,but.... 8) 4.3*1024 = 4403.2 = 4.403 This would give me 1032 times "no space left on device" ;) No. the directory strukture can be totally different or slightly different and may be some filenames will be changed. I really need something. to which and from where I can move files until "it" has "no space left on device"...
